Biggin Hill Air Show.



Various shots of young boys enjoying the Biggin Hill air show. The boys admire some of the aircraft, get to clamber over them, and are shown how the engines work. Air force personnel in uniform show the boys how the planes work. Narrator speaks of the children becoming "machine mad". Nice C/U of a boy taking a book from a stand, it is a Biggles book.



One of the boys gets a flight in a helicopter. Various light aircraft are seen at the show. An aircraft performs a "loop the loop" . Narrator ends by saying " a truly wonderful day for children " .
